FAURO.--6° 55' S, 156° 07' E. This small island, about 14 miles long (north-south) and six miles wide (east-west), lies about 10 miles south and east of Bougainville. Fauro is formed around a volcanic cone having a maximum elevation of 1925 feet; it has considerable dense mangrove swamp along the west coast, and mature rain forest with little understory growth. Most collecting was at Toumoa, on one of two southern peninsulas. FLORIDA (Nggela).--9° 05' S, 160° 16' E. Florida, the main island in the Nggela Island Subgroup, is mountainous and except for some small grassy areas, supports dense rain forest. It is nearly 25 miles long (east-west) and nine miles wide (north-south), with a maximum elevation, at Mount Barnett, of about 1366 feet. Most collecting was at Haleta, on the southwestern coast. At this locality there were scattered mangrove swamps, rain forest, and gardens inland. GANONGGA (Ronogo, Ronongo).--8° 03' S, 156° 35' E. GATUKAI.--8° 47' S, 158° 12' E. GHIZO (Gizo, Keso).--8° 05' S, 156° 59' E. GOWER (N'dai).--7° 54' S, 160° 34' E. GUADALCANAL (Guadalcanar).--9° 15' S, 159° 35' E. Guadalcanal is mostly of volcanic origin and has an irregular chain of mountains along the southern coast. The highest elevation is 8005 feet at Mount Popomanasiu. This large island is nearly 80 miles long (east-west) and 25 miles wide (north-south). Most of the northwestern part of Guadalcanal supports _alang-alang_ grass. The remainder of the island is heavily wooded. KILINAILAU (Cartaret).--4° 44' S, 155° 28' E. KOLOMBANGARA (Duki, Kulambangara).--8° 00' S, 157° 05' E. Kolombangara, formed from an extinct volcano, is about 18 miles in diameter and nearly circular. The highest peaks, rising as precipitous cliffs in some places, reach a maximum elevation of about 5000 feet. The vegetation is mostly virgin rain forest. Mangrove swamp and small coconut groves occur along the coast. Field parties from the Bishop Museum were able to reach the highest elevations, and concentrated their work along the southwestern side of the island. [Illustration: FIG. 2. Solomon Islands. Principal islands are named.] MALAITA (Mala, Malanta, Malayta).--9° 00' S, 161° 00' E. This long (104 miles northwest to southeast), narrow (about 23 miles at its widest spot) island, between Santa Ysabel and San Cristobal islands, is basically of volcanic origin with some limestone (coral) deposits along the coast. Mount Kolovrat, having an elevation of 4275 feet, is the highest point. The Bishop Museum field party lived at Dala, in dense rain forest about 12 miles north of Auki on the northwestern coast of Malaita. MALAPA.--9° 49' S, 160° 53' E. MONO (Treasury).--7° 22' S, 155° 35' E. This is a small island (maximum elevation 1150 feet) in the Treasury Island Subgroup just south of Bougainville. Mono is about nine miles long (east-west) and five and one half miles wide (north-south). The basic volcanic core is described in field notes as topped with coral limestone.
